Event 1: Nguyen's Tank Runs Dry

We found Men "The Master" Nguyen contemplating a 430,000 all-in bet from Alynna Le. The board read , and Nguyen counted out his stack; it was about 80,000 short so he would be calling off everything.

Nguyen went deep into the tank, thinking for about four minutes. He twice told the dealer he would need considerable time for this decision. For their part, the other players at the table seemed unwilling to call the clock on the seven-time bracelet winner. Finally, Andrew Badecker called for time. When the countdown hit five seconds, Nguyen finally slid his cards to the dealer, saying he was sure he was against ace-king and he folded a combo draw.

Le, who had been staring straight ahead while covering her mouth with a pink scarf, turned over the as she collected the pot.
